On Monday (10/25/04), the New York Times plastered a front page story that U.S. forces had failed to guard a major Iraqi weapons cache after its invasion, and 300+ tons of weapons were looted by insurgents.

        John Kerry immediately took the opportunity to publicly denigrate the troops and blame the Bush administration.

        In a few days, however, the facts revealed that the Times did not have all their facts, as it was learned that the weapons had been already removed by U.S. forces (see here).

        What's particularly sad is that CBS' 60 Minutes, who has been on a jihad to unseat President Bush all year, planned to air a story on this topic two days before the election.
